Breaking The Habit With Ergonomics

70dabb8a3b4d4a87cbf480bf8851d20c

As humans, we are created to move around. Our body has been designed so that we can be active throughout the day. If we take a moment to trace back to jobs of the past, they are job that require a lot of movements such as; fishermen, hunters and carpenters. However in today’s world, these jobs have been heavily replaced by desk jobs that require us to sit for long hours.

Research has shown that sitting is killing, and just as or even more dangerous than smoking. This is mainly because in the modern days, we are sitting excessively to a point that we have minimum movement and we are sitting in office chairs that do not give us a healthy posture.


 

Due to this, many employees often complain about suffering from painin their waist, neck and back. These health effects lead to sicknesbackpain1s and can eventually cause employees to either quit their jobs or perform poorly.

This issue has quickly become a habit and often ov erlooked as something minor. We were made to believe that this has become the nature of human workforce today, and that this habit simply cannot be broken. However, this ongoing pattern can easily be resolved by using ergonomic chairs and tables instead of traditional ones.

This article will take a look at how Scandinavian Business Seating (SBS) and Duba B8 workstations can help us minimize injuries and generate maximum performance at work.

We cannot simply avoid sitting down for long hours as it has become an essential part of our daily activity at workplaces. However, this does not mean we must suffer the consequences of our bad habits, we simply need to utilize workstations that supports us. Our conventional office chair most certainly will not be able to support us for hours of work and sitting, hence we need to find the correct ergonomic chair.


With our HÅG chairs by heg-capisco-2-bScandinavian Business Seating, they are designed to support users by giving us movement and variation while they are working.

All HÅG chairs are equipped with what they call Balance Movement Mechanism™ (BMM). BMM™ allows users to have an upright posture unconsciously, thus they can have full focus on work whilesitting correctly. Aside from achieving the right posture, we also have variation while working, we don’t simply have to stay pu
t and stick to that one position. These movements allow us to activate our dormant muscles and blood to flow around our body. With more blood flow, we will feel less sleepy and more energized to finish our daily work routine.


duba-for-articleWhile sitting is necessary, it is good to hav options of standing as well. Standing up does not only offer health benefits but also increases productivity. Standing up naturally gives us a correct posture, if we take a look around, we will rarely see people slouching while standing at the same time.

The only people who slouch are those already suffering bad backs. Aside from providing good posture, standing keeps us more focused on our work as well. This results in better productivity throughout the office for better performance of the company. Another great thing with standing desks is that it also keeps our after-lunch hours feeling less lazy and helps us jump back straight to work after a full meal.

Duba B8 is a furniture manufacturing company from Denmark that has been specializing in Danish craftsmanship for over 100 years. They offer standing desks called the System 4000. People have the option of standing or sitting with just the push of a button so that anyone can use this desk. Duba B8 offers a range of electrically height adjustable tables, from both working desks to meeting tables. Standing tables for meeting rooms are also a great option because there is more focus as we are standing. This means we can have shorter and faster meetings to achieve a goal.

With the correct workstations, bad postures and sore backs will no longer be a problem at offices.
